So, I had another date with the new guy last night. That's twice in 3 days - fairly impressive by my terms!
We went to a nearby restaurant, called Zorba's for dinner - he had fillet steak (well done) with beer and I had grilled calamari (with wine of course), which was delicious. I have to say, I had a lovely time.
What else can I tell you about him? He has a house that he designed himself on thewater's edge of a marina. He said he designed it with the idea of having a family to share it with one day - it's way too big for one. He'd love to have kids. He's got a dog, a boxer called Laila, who's his baby for now. His brother's wife was at school with me and I met his brother briefly at the Junior Argus earlier this year. He's Afrikaans, which is a little weird for me. His parents are happily married and live in Monte Vista, which is the suburb next to ours and the one I work in. He's the middle child, has an older sister and younger brother. He's birthday's 9 September. He runs, surfs and cycles. He loves motorbikes, but doesn't own one at the moment after a serious racing accident that nearly cost him his life in 2008.
Anynoodle. There are other things I'd love to write about on the subject, but I think that'll be all for now. I'll probably be seeing him over the weekend again. I think one of the most frustrating things about this is that nobody I know has met him properly. Besides the friends who're trying to set us up, who undoubtedly will only tell me good things, I have no one to bounce things off. I wish you could meet him and give me your opinions...

Oooooo, he sounds quite nice, well, except for the well-done steak thing :)
Sounds good!
The fact that he's taking things a little seriously could be a sort of wake up call after his accident.
Glad you're giving the "back of your mind" guy another chance. Could be a good opportunity to compare and contrast with "new guy".
Whatever happens, enjoy it all!

P.S. You mentioned he's Afrikaans. Does that mean he speaks Afrikaans as his primary language? Hope that's not a dumb question!
